- Submitted from: SudburyWhat does Vermont mean to you?It used to mean wholesome values, a friendly neighborly attitude & courtesy. It used to mean there was kindness & respect for the culture, the land, and way of life here. I now have surcumbed to the fact that this was all for show. Visit, but don't stay.What common values do Vermonters share?Bigotry, seggregation, intollerance, and demeanorism.What challenges and opportunities do we see for our communities and state?Operating ANY business in Vermont. Operating any motor vehicle on the roads and bridges. Curtail and limit interaction with any resident flatlander. The opportunities to be part of, belong, associate, and live in Vermont are extinct.What should our priorities be as we work together to prepare Vermont for the future?I don't know, I'm disqualified 2 speak 4 Vermont(ers). I'm a Visitor who's resided here for decades. I say Vermonters are doing great job making residents who used to appreciate, respect,& abide the ways to leave. I hate the term Flatlander! I never minded it for many years. It now groups me w/those who disrespect, try to change, upset, compete, & or take over VT.How do your thoughts about Vermont's values, future challenges and priority issues apply to YOUR community?For Sale: (1) Vermonters dream home or (1) Flatlanders Dream, homestead included.
- Submitted from: RutlandWhat does Vermont mean to you?Vermont is an oasis in my mind. I see and hear about the rest of country facing unprecedented turmoil, yet I see no traces here. Yes, the occasional abandonment of a building occurs, but do I see foreclosure signs to my left and to my right? No. I see stability, honesty, community, and the beautiful green mountains. I love this state. It's just a shame I live in Rutland.What common values do Vermonters share?First of all, everyone I know loves the state. My friends and I love it here and our opinions about the state have intensified positively as we've gotten older. As mentioned before, Rutland is a terrible place for open-minded teenagers such as ourselves. Road trips to Burlington send chills down our spines and leave us longing for the same experience back home.What challenges and opportunities do we see for our communities and state?Using Rutland as an example: Rutland has become "Anywhere USA". Sprawl is taking its toll. Poverty is rampant in the city. It's depressing. It's sad. And you know what? It's noticed. By everyone. We all want change. Vermont has a unique opportunity to transform itself into a place where everyone is entitled to a second chance and happiness by all.What should our priorities be as we work together to prepare Vermont for the future?Get the input of every single Vermonter, of every ethnic and social background. Of any job description. Vermont needs to ensure stability in everyone's life. Go to WallMart in downtown Rutland and pluck an unfortunate soul off the sidewalk with a Mountain Dew in one hand and a stroller in the other. Get her opinion. Her opinion is the key to Vermont's darkest issues.How do your thoughts about Vermont's values, future challenges and priority issues apply to YOUR community?Rutland exists. It is the second largest city ("micropolis") in the state. We have the same problems. We face the same issues. Except Rutland is its own sad, abandoned planet; we need change here, as much as it is needed in Chittenden or Windham (Counties). At least I, and my friends, care about what needs to be done!
